I think the rest of the world in my experience confuses American foriegn policy (of the government in power) with the American public at large..and they relate one to another..foreign policy=american public ophinion or so people think or basically generalise..

Also the patriotism shown by Americans can confuse people also imo..americans like to show they are all pulling together and in many instances they are not..but this is the image the world at large recieves..mainly driven by american media..

Anyway i think my basic point is correct

people confuse american foriegn policy with american public ophinion and often they forget they are both seperate..but it seems to get wrapped up in the one flag...just my ophinion..
